Abstract

This study aims to analyze the distribution of Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), as well as the alignment between test items and learning objectives in the odd-semester Final Examination (UAS) in the Indonesian Language subject at Grade VII at SMP Negeri 2 Dayun. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using content analysis of 50 examination items, answer keys, learning objectives, and interview data from the Indonesian Language teacher. The analysis was conducted based on the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy by Anderson, Krathwohl, and Webb’s alignment principles. The findings reveal that the examination is predominantly oriented toward LOTS, with 47 items (94%) categorized as LOTS and only 3 items (6%) classified as HOTS, mainly at the cognitive level C3 (applying). In addition, although 64% of the items were aligned with the learning objectives, 36% showed inconsistencies in cognitive demand, indicating that several test items did not adequately reflect the intended learning outcomes. This imbalance demonstrates that the assessment has not fully supported the development of students’ higher-order thinking skills, particularly critical, analytical, and creative thinking. The study highlights the need for more balanced and cognitively challenging assessment practices through the integration of HOTS-oriented items and stronger alignment between assessment instruments and instructional objectives. Scientifically, this study provides an evaluative framework for examining both cognitive level distribution and item alignment, which can serve as a reference for improving assessment quality in accordance with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe errors in official letter writing at the Kampung Baru Village Office in 2025 and analyze the various factors behind the occurrence of these errors. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a content analysis method. The data source in this study is an archive of official letters sourced from 50 outgoing letters at the Kampung Baru Village Office in 2025. The data in this study are errors in outgoing letter writing at the Kampung Baru Village Office. All data were obtained through documentation and interview techniques, then analyzed referring to the theory of language errors in official letters. The results showed that there were 237 error data based on nine categories of letter writing. Language errors in the letter content were the most dominant finding with a frequency of 57 data. Other significant errors were found in the writing of letter numbers (36 data) and letter addresses (35 data). Specifically, errors in the letter content include errors in the use of capital letters, sentence structure, common abbreviations, writing rupiah nominals, writing colons (:), writing the suffix -nya, to the format for writing NIP and the name of the signatory that does not comply with the latest rules. The factors causing these errors include communication barriers in understanding instructions from higher-level agencies, overlapping workloads (multitasking), the lack of a specific guidebook for official scripts in the village office, and inaccuracy in the choice of diction. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the quality of correspondence at the Kampung Baru Village Office still requires significant improvement through the provision of applicable technical guidelines and the implementation of regular technical guidance training for village officials.
